President Obama and his Secretary of Education

On January 20th, 2009, Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in becoming the 44th President of the United States. We watched together in our classrooms as history was made, not just because he is our first President of color, but because he represents a change in leadership and a shift in political viewpoints in the U.S.
On the discussion board, post an appropriate comment on your feelings concerning his inaugural address.
Did President Obama cover all of the issues at stake in our country today? Did President Obama leave any important questions unanswered? Did you appreciate the quote made by George Washington included in his speech?
